No doubt a car you want to stay away from on the strip and at red lights, but that's if you ever see one. All this will really do is allow the keyboard warrior 16 year old kids to go mad in comment sections of videos and forums about how Chevy is shit and Fords new GT500 will have 700-800 HP and Mopar is still the fastest (LOL at "Still") and all that. You know how it goes.
I read somewhere that it has 1023 Crank HP, and 840 WHEEL HP. That's right, 840 WHP with a warranty, could be wrong, but the person who wrote it attended the reveal. 2.3 second 0-60 is no joke, fastest stock thing on a tire for the most part. 4 drag radials and skinnies from the factory that are stored in the rear, giving you two spare tires when you go to the strip. It's clear what it's built for, straight line speed.
3000 cars puts it into the rare class. I live in an area (Motor City) where cars are extremely plentiful. And I still rarely see ZR1s/ZL1s and they made 4500 and 9000 of them (I believe) respectively. Don't worry about it, let the Mopar fan boys have their fun. The car starts at $85,000 by the way and no doubt can be optioned up and will be sold WELL north of sticker like GT350s and Hellcats were when they came out.
And as far as the previous poster that said Ford and Chevy can both build left and right cars, that crown definitely belongs exclusively to Chevy, with exception to the GT350R, they (Ford) haven't made a corner car...ever. Whereas the new ZL1s out handle $300,000 super cars, heck even our ZL1s out drive a good amount of supercars, and Corvettes are even ahead of the Camaros.
In my opinion, Ford is currently the furthest behind, which is a tad surprising. We all know Mopar can build straight line fast cars, and Chevy can build a Camaro that is more like a sports car than a muscle car as well as super car killing Corvettes, but what does Ford to? Crash into crowds as of now
. No doubt the new GT500 will be a GT350R with improvements and a blower and will be a beast, not taking away from that but as of now, they pretty much have nothing in the game.
